The type—such as cane bolt, hook and eye, slide bolt, or safety hasp—determines both how the hardware operates and its best use case. For example, slide bolts like the Acorn Manufacturing 9" Forged Iron Curled Bolt are ideal for securing gates and doors, while hook and eye latches (e.g., 3" Forged Hook and Eye) are simple solutions for lighter applications. The availability of different types allows you to select a hardware piece that best matches your security needs, usage frequency, and style preference.
